Parents, Go Figure: The Phone Call.
So, my mom calls me at work from Virginia and this is the entire conversation:
Mom: I know you're at work, but this is a business call. I need your help with something important.
Me: Okay. What's up?
Mom: (mumbling in background) I'm at Lorraine's (Note: a friend of hers who I have not seen in 30 years). Now, how do you get to Pasadena?
Me: How do I--Well, the 134, I think.
Mom: So, when you drive that way (more mumbling)do you pass Eagle Rock?
Me: No, but I have been by Eagle Rock.
Mom: I THOUGHT so! (very excited mumbling)
Me: Why?
Mom: Lorraine's granddaughter lives there!
Me: Oh.
Mom: Well, just wanted to check. I'll let you get back to work.
I have never ever gotten kids who try to invite themselves to a sleepover. Oh the hell no.
Oh Scrappy, that's pretty funny (and sorta frustrating!) I love that she told you it was a business call. My mom will call me at work to tell me a funny squirrel story, note that I see her every morning so really mom? Squirrels?
Oh, Sparky, I hope Sass gets found, and soon, and healthy.
Oh, Sass. All fingers crossed, Sparky.
Yes, get home safe and sound, Sass!
SASSYPANTS YOU COME HOME RIGHT NOW.
I am going to destroy Bank of America. When I add extra money to my HELOC payment, it's supposed to be applied to the principal. You haven't done it in two months, and I'm paying more interest because of it. Now you're saying because I didn't make the payment in the same month it was due (even though it's well within the 10-day grace period), my extra $$ toward principal isn't applied until you see fit, which is sometimes three or more months down the line. Fuck you with a rusty chainsaw that's covered in metal shavings.
